THE SAT WORD OF THE WEEK IS FATHOM, A VERB MEANING TO UNDERSTAND FULLY.
THE JV SOFTBALL TEAM DEFEATED MAGRUDER FRIDAY AFTERNOON 16 TO 1. THE ROCKETS PLAYED MISTAKE FREE
DEFENSE AND WERE SPARKED OFFENSIVELY BY ELLA SCARANO, ERIN FREY, AND RYAN WESTPFAHL, WHO EACH
PICKED UP KEY HITS. LAUREN BOLGER BROKE THE GAME OPEN WITH A THREE RUN TRIPLE IN THE 3RD INNING.
BOLGER ALSO WAS EFFICIENT IN THE PITCHERS CIRCLE WALKING JUST THREE MAGRUDER BATTERS. THE TEAM
IMPROVED TO 3-0 FOR THE YEAR. GREAT JOB ROCKETS!
